Internal strife is never a glorious thing.

The disturbance was quickly suppressed.

The noise was quickly quelled.

Even if it meant sacrificing the lives of two servants as the price for settling the matter.

To the outside world.

The story of the Xiao family members fighting never happened.

In other words, the outside world doesn't know about this at all.

Just like in the eyes of outsiders, the most dazzling young man in the Xiao family is still Xiao Yan, who is already a genius with the fifth level of Dou Qi at the age of six.

But for the Xiao family members.

This is also true for the top management of the Xiao family.

But they knew more than that.

They know the cause, process and outcome of the internal strife!

They knew that Xiao Yan’s actual realm was the sixth stage of Dou Qi!

They also knew that at this moment, the most ordinary yet strongest young man of the Xiao family showed up and destroyed all doubts in a crushing manner. From beginning to end, a bamboo pole was only raised three times, and it shattered the disobedience and vanity of all the children of the Xiao family!

It can also be said that their pride was shattered!

However, let’s not talk about the reactions of the Xiao family members for now.

The reaction of the Xiao family’s top management was rather ambiguous.

Patriarch Xiao Zhan.

Great elder.

Second elder.

Three elders.

These four people in power who had not gotten along well with each other in the past rarely came to visit Lin Chaoci, and then disappeared without a trace. There was no disturbance or fanfare, and they just issued the most simple gag order.

From top to bottom.

Including the patriarch.

Those who know, shut up, otherwise you will be treated as leaking family secrets.

This kind of treatment means death to the servants.

For one's own children, it means lifelong imprisonment.

It can be said to be a very severe punishment.

Once carried.

It's not just you who can't hold your head up.

Even your descendants won’t be able to hold their heads up.

In more serious cases, the person may even be expelled from the family, stripped from the family tree and removed from the surname.

As for those who don't know, there is no need to know. All of them use the internal strife of the Xiao family as an excuse to label the matter as a family scandal and cover it up.

Only the people who were there at the time.

There are also the four powerful figures mentioned above.

Only then did I know some of Lin Chaoci's background.

But, just a little!

Everyone knows different details!

For example, the skills seen by Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu and others!

For example, only the four senior figures of the Xiao family, namely the clan leader Xiao Zhan, the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder, know the meaning of the stick!

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

To be precise, it has been one day and one night since the incident happened.

Because it happened early in the morning.

From the early morning of that day to the early morning of the next day is counted as one day.

Now, the ground is covered with red clouds.

It didn't arrive until the next morning.

Therefore, it cannot be considered the second day.

The sun is setting.

I also saw that there was no one at the table.

Yesterday evening, that is, on the evening of the day when the incident happened, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, who had met Lin Chaoci together with the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder, sighed, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up, walked out of the room, and strolled along the corridor. After a while, he arrived outside Xiao Yan's house and gradually stopped.

The eldest son Xiao Ding sighed.

The second son Xiao Li looked depressed.

One left and one right.

Sit on the steps.

In this unexpected posture, he met his father Xiao Zhan.

"father?"

Compared to Xiao Li, who lowered his head and held his forehead, not knowing what he was thinking but looking quite negative, Xiao Ding, as the eldest brother, was relatively stable.

He was also the first among the two brothers to notice Xiao Zhan's arrival.

He said in surprise.

Ignoring Xiao Li who was startled.

He spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "I advised me for a long time... Tsk, to no avail... Of course, it's not my fault that I can't get over it. If it were me, I wouldn't get over it either... He was a first-year genius, but he was knocked to the ground by someone holding a bamboo pole. It can even be said that after he fell to the ground, he couldn't get up for a full hour and a half. I had to carry him back. It was not until last night that he was able to get off the ground and stand firmly. Before that, it was as if his bones were broken and his strength was all dispersed... If this is not a laughing stock, it would be really unforgivable... Moreover, to put it bluntly, this time, my image in the hearts of my peers will probably be similar to that of a jumping clown, claiming to be very powerful and excellent. In fact, the truly strong are low-key. Only those who are less than half a bottle of water will be complacent... I, as the eldest brother, have this feeling, so how can others, including me, not feel it?"

"What can I do if I feel that way?"

"If you can't beat me, you can't beat me."

"My little brother is stronger than both of us."

"He was knocked down in one move."

"Together, can we block three attacks?"

Xiao Li scratched his hair in annoyance, his negative emotions almost overflowing.

I retorted to my elder brother in annoyance.

Then, he looked at his father Xiao Zhan and said, "Dad, I'm just simply curious... Of course, if it's not convenient, you don't have to tell us. It's a good thing that my cousin is talented, and it's also a good thing that he can fight. You taught us that secrecy is the key to success. If we accidentally leak the secrets due to our conversation, and let the Jialie family and the Oba family know that our Xiao family has another genius, or even a genius who is better than my younger brother, there's no guarantee that they won't be desperate and do something out of the ordinary... But if it's convenient, I still want to know how high my cousin's realm and methods are?"

"Come to think of it, I want to know too."

"Of course... I'm just like my second brother. If it's inconvenient, I don't have to answer."

“We just have curiosity.”

"Not that heavy yet."

Xiao Ding continued Xiao Li's words and echoed softly.

Xiao Zhan waited for two or three seconds before he started laughing.

look around.

As the top powerful person in Wutan City.

One of the few great fighters.

Especially within the Xiao family.

No one has ever been able to hide from his perception.

So, Xiao Zhan first gave Xiao Ding and Xiao Li a look to catch up, and then, without covering his footsteps, he strode to the door and pushed it open. Looking at his younger son Xiao Yan, who was a little embarrassed but had returned to the bed, he said patiently: "Ding'er, Li'er, come in and talk... And Yan'er, a real man should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. It's just that you lost, but you talk as if no one has ever lost in his life... Since you want to know, then your father will tell you, but you have to remember that he is your cousin, and her mother is my half sister. No matter whether she is a concubine or not, if she is still alive, you should all call her aunt... So, I hope you remember that he is not your enemy, and I don't know if you can let it go."

"Of course!"

Xiao Li nodded without hesitation, and gave his reasons confidently: "If it were me, I would have lost my temper long ago after being provoked again and again, especially when I was told that I hadn't provoked you or offended you, but you still pushed me too far... Think about it carefully, from beginning to end, Xiao Yanzi and I didn't give him a chance to speak before we started, so I can deny everything else, but I admit that I was inconsiderate at the time... And in this situation, he just restrained me and didn't hurt me. Even Xiao Yanzi was only hit by his stick, without any broken bones. He recovered last night, his strength was restored, and he was full of energy. I admire his broad-mindedness, holding it high and putting it down gently!"

"Yes."

"What is commendable is his calmness."

"Dad, you weren't there."

"Otherwise, you can see the kind of scene that is really shocking."

"All eyes are on him."

"He was able to calmly share the responsibility under the pressure of being the center of attention."

"If he hadn't wanted to get involved in this matter."

"This matter has been settled long ago."

“There wouldn’t have been so many twists and turns later.”

"He has that kind of...tsk...how can I describe it? Anyway, it's just a special aura that makes people subconsciously believe in him."

“It’s very strange.”

After Xiao Li finished speaking, Xiao Ding also started to explain.

In his words, he did not hesitate to express his recognition of Lin Chaoci.

It can even be said to be praise and admiration.

Of course.

He also speaks truthfully.

In his opinion, it was a very immature approach for Lin Chaoci to share the responsibility. It was a serious mistake for him to not be involved in the affairs of the government and to fail to make achievements while in office. It was really regrettable that Lin Chaoci had the strength and ability to calm the storm, but he had no intention to do so.

However, no one is perfect.

Considering that Lin Chaoci is relatively young.

Besides, this matter really has nothing to do with him.

At most, you will be affected by the disaster.

It is understandable that Lin Chaoci is unwilling to stand up.

I have no share in good things.

There are still a lot of troubles.

Even I need to clean up this mess.

No one would be happy to come.

To put it bluntly, this is clearly the job of the young clan leader. There are conflicts and contradictions among the younger generation, and the young clan leader, as the strongest one, should stand up and settle everything. I'm not the young clan leader, so what does it have to do with me?

If I were the young patriarch.

Have an identity.

Have status.

I didn't do it well, that's my problem.

It was my fault.

But the current young clan leader is Xiao Ding, the eldest son of clan leader Xiao Zhan, and also the most outstanding person of his age.

So, we have come to the end.

It's obvious that the pot belongs to him.

It has nothing to do with Lin Chaoci.

You should speak with conscience, too!

Therefore, Xiao Ding only mentioned it briefly, and his main purpose was to praise him.

Xiao Yan's words.

Also very open-minded.

As a time traveler, he had long known that there were geniuses in the world.

Just like when he was in school.

Some people can memorize most of the text after reading it two or three times.

Some people, even after reading a text a hundred times, still can't recite it well.

Anyway, he was tortured by classical Chinese.

Of course.

In addition to classical Chinese, there are also math problems.

Those who can't do it really can't do it.

The teacher is also teaching there.

What others hear is the truth, but what you hear is nonsense.

What can be done?

Lie down and enjoy!

Therefore, Xiao Yan had already come to terms with a genius like Lin Chaoci during the two days and one night since he came back, because others didn't know that he had run away secretly, but he himself knew that, normally speaking, people start practicing at the age of six, because children under the age of six simply cannot sit still. His eldest brother Xiao Ding, second brother Xiao Li, and many others including Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, all started refining their fighting spirit at the age of six and entered this realm called fighting spirit. Even so, they were often stared at by the elders of each family, telling them that no matter whether they could calm down and refine their spirit, they should just sit down first. This was also a necessary process to grind away their impetuous mentality and improve their patience, so as to avoid becoming obsessed with anxiety in the future. However, this time traveler with the memory of an adult was different. Faced with this extraordinary power, even if he was only a young man in his twenties in his previous life, he could still patiently force himself to practice, that is, meditate. Therefore, he started refining his fighting spirit at the age of four. This was also the reason why he was able to surpass his second brother Xiao Li and even catch up with his eldest brother Xiao Ding's current realm.
